Zabbuli 19
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Eggulu litegeeza ekitiibwa kya Katonda, ebbanga ne litegeeza emirimu gy’emikono gye.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands.
2 Buli lunaku litegeeza ekitiibwa kye, era liraga amagezi ge buli kiro.
Day proclaims the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.
3 Tewali bigambo oba olulimi olwogerwa, era n’eddoboozi lyabyo teriwulikika.
There are no speeches or conversations, where their voices are not being heard.
4 Naye obubaka bwabyo bubunye mu nsi yonna. Mu ggulu omwo Katonda mwe yasimbira enjuba eweema.
Their sound has gone forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
5 Evaayo ng’awasa omugole bw’ava mu nju ye, era ng’omuddusi asinga bonna bw’ajjula essanyu ng’agenda mu mpaka.
He has placed his tabernacle in the sun, and he is like a bridegroom coming out of his bedroom. He has exulted like a giant running along the way;
6 Evaayo ku ludda olumu olw’eggulu, ne yeetooloola okutuuka ku nkomerero yaalyo, era tewali kyekweka bbugumu lyayo.
his departure is from the summit of heaven. And his course reaches all the way to its summit. Neither is there anyone who can hide himself from his heat.
7 Ekiragiro kya Mukama kirimu byonna, era kizzaamu amaanyi mu mwoyo. Etteeka lya Mukama lyesigika, ligeziwaza abatalina magezi.
The law of the Lord is immaculate, converting souls. The testimony of the Lord is faithful, providing wisdom to little ones.
8 Okuyigiriza kwa Mukama kutuufu, kusanyusa omutima gw’oyo akugondera. Ebiragiro bya Mukama bimulisiza amaaso, bye galaba.
The justice of the Lord is right, rejoicing hearts. The precepts of the Lord are brilliant, enlightening the eyes.
9 Okutya Mukama kirungi, era kya mirembe gyonna. Ebiragiro bya Mukama bya bwenkanya, era bya butuukirivu ddala.
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for all generations. The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves:
10 Ebyo byonna bisaana okuyaayaanirwa okusinga zaabu, okusingira ddala zaabu ennungi ennyo. Biwoomerera okusinga omubisi gw’enjuki, okusukkirira omubisi gw’enjuki ogutonnya nga guva mu bisenge byagwo.
desirable beyond gold and many precious stones, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Ebyo bye birabula omuddu wo, era mu kubigondera muvaamu empeera ennene.
For, indeed, your servant keeps them, and in keeping them, there are many rewards.
12 Ani asobola okulaba ebyonoono bye? Onsonyiwe, Ayi Mukama, ebibi ebinkisiddwa.
Who can understand transgression? From my hidden faults, cleanse me, O Lord,
13 Era omuddu wo omuwonye okukola ebibi ebigenderere, bireme kunfuga. Bwe ntyo mbeere ng’ataliiko kyakunenyezebwa nneme okuzza omusango omunene ogw’ekibi.
and from those of others, spare your servant. If they will have no dominion over me, then I will be immaculate, and I will be cleansed from the greatest transgression.
14 Nsaba ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange, n’okulowooza okw’omu mutima gwange, bisiimibwe mu maaso go, Ayi Mukama, Olwazi lwange, era Omununuzi wange.
And the eloquence of my mouth will be so as to please, along with the meditation of my heart, in your sight, forever, O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.
